[QGIS-Developer] strange files in bin when building qgis server

[Greg Troxel]

I maintain the gpksrc entry for qgis, currently at 3.28.7.  Generally it
works pretty well.

I am reviewing a patch to add qgis server to the package.  While there
are questions as to whether it should be a split package, I'm not
worrying about that yet, and it doesn't seem like the server files are
that big.

The patch basically does:

+CMAKE_ARGS+=           -DWITH_SERVER:BOOL=TRUE

which as you'd expect adds that to the cmake invocation.  The qgis
package already had a dependency on fcgi, for reasons that are unclear
(and unimportant!).

Things are mostly ok; now new files appear in $prefix/bin, in lib and in
share and reviewing the list most seem obviously sensible.

However, two files get installed in bin: admin.sld and wms_metadata.xml.

I have appended a snippet of our manifest of installed files;
bin/qgis_mapserver and bin/qgis_mapserver.fcgi seem correct, as do the
libraries, and the things beyond that which I have omitted.

But admin.sld and wms_metadata.xml are not executables and do not have a
qgis_ prefix.  They seems like examples, not something that should be
installed.

Do other people building qgis from source see these two files?  Others
maintaining packages?

This seems like a bug in the build system to me, but this is my first
interaction with anything qgis_server.

My build host is NetBSD 10 amd64.


Thanks, Greg
